It would certainly be a surprise for someone who was not used to one or who didn't know how to control it.

I was surprised it was powerful enough to pull (or push) some of the things it did.

It looks like one of those things that would be fun for about 5 minutes until the novelty wore off.

I didn't think it would have had the power to pull the pallet truck so am pleasantly surprised.
I did the segway tour beside me and it was brilliant. Once you found your feet the instructor removed the restrictor and by God can it shift. I think these good be just as good for a bit of fun. Although not sure they be great here with the amount of potholes and lack of pavements.
